The forum will be streamed live on the Global Social Business Summit website and on United Media.
The Global Social Business Summit - conceived in 2009 by Professor Muhammad Yunus, winner of the Nobel Peace Prize 2006, "father" of microcredit and founder of Grameen Bank - brings together the global social business community every year and in 2022 lands for the first time in Italy.
